Arthur

KYLIE's POV

"Rosie, stop talking! I told Jermy I'd be gone for a long period! I'm taking a long fvcking vacation!

What are you on about, you booked my flight to France for a new Fashion Show? What a moron you are.?!!"

Annoying! Why are people so stupid today, my god?

It's also tiring. So when the invitation reached me that my cousin Bennet would get married again, I was really confused because why he got married twice and only to the same woman, I took advantage of the occasion and flew home.

I told Jermy, my handler in Management, that I wanted a long vacation and he agreed.

Like what the heck! I was supposed to go to Palawan to relax but her stupidity, I... aaargh!

"I'm sorry, Kylie. I had no idea you had already requested a vacation. You can't say no to FW, I'm sorry.. Our Management's reputation will be damaged if you back out," I heard said Rosie on the other line.

"You know what, Rosie? Fvck that reputation. I don't care!"

I turned off my cell phone and threw it in the corner of the backseat before I got out of the car. I have to calm down because my beauty will be ruined again. I don't want guests to see me frowning. I looked around all around. I could also hear water flowing from somewhere. I frowned when I remembered that I fell into the fountain earlier in the Garden because of that squealing monkey and that monkey-looking man!

I had to go back to the hotel I was staying at just to change clothes again.

I decided to just wear a maroon dress, I would have liked my gold dress that I bought in Paris then, but I remembered what that man said that monkeys are attracted to shine'y colors. I was scared, so I stopped wearing jewelry.

I locked my car before I walked into the Reception Hall and I still see many guests and the newlyweds are already there.

Several male guests immediately looked at me when I entered the reception. Well Im Kylie Leofwin anyone else? I'm used to the attention so I don't care about it.

My eyes searched for Ate Annie. He was there at a table with his son Lukas and some of our other relatives.

I immediately retchoed closer to Ate Annie's table.

My eyes caught Bennet and Cole In front of , The man frowned as he looked at his wife who was eating.

I laughed and looked away from hope and suddenly my eyes were on the corner of the reception. When I saw the two men talking continuously, I automatically raised my eyebrows at what I saw.

That Man!. Who else? the man holding the monkey earlier in the Fountain. He was cheerfully chit-chat-ting with a female who looked exactly like the bride.. I would have thought Cole was the one talking to the man but that is impossible because he is currently eating with his wife. If the girl isn't Cole, she's most probably her twin and I heard that Cole has a twin sister.

I smirked when I saw the man smiling at the woman he was talking to. It's like he's pretending to be cute.

Eww.

Shh! As for me, Sama has the same attitude. I wanted to stone him with my heels but I saw Ate Annie waving at me so I stopped my plan to do it.

When I was about to turn my head, that guy caught my eyes. I don't know but I stopped walking. His stare has turned cold, sending shivers down my spine. Why can he look at me like that?

I blinked. When I looked at the man again, he wasn't looking at me anymore. Or maybe it's just my imagination.

I just shrugged my shoulders and continued walking closer to Ate Annie.

"Balin!" Grandpa Arthur suddenly called out of nowhere.

I winced at what I heard.

Because people looked at each other. Grandpa Arthur's loud cry.

"Balin! Come here! Sit here next to me."

I bowed and ignored Lolo. I also hid my face because some guests were starting to ask who Balin was. I don't want other people to know that my name is Balin.

I almost dived into the seat just to avoid it. Ate Annie and Lukas were laughing when I sat down.

"Lolo na Balin broadcast your name, Auntie", said Lukas

"Shut up!" I whine.

Ate Annie brought the food closer to her. "Just eat that Kylie. I've been waiting for you for a while."

I saw that the table was full of meat and Reason to frown.

"You know I don't eat meat, whether it's pork or chicken," I said.

Sister Annie scoffed. "You eat, Kylie. When you were young you were greedy for meat. You only acted when you became a model. For once in your life, eat protein again. You need that in life." said this

. I snorted when I heard that, Aunt Annie really knows me since I was a child, Anyway, it looks like there is no press here. There is nothing wrong with eating.

I have already spooned the food. I don't know what kind of dishes they are, but it looks delicious so go. I'm hungry too. I remember Cole and his food. I hope the day comes when I can eat that much again.

"You're going to Palawan after the wedding, aren't you?" Ate Annie said while I was eating. "Lukas and I are going back to Chicago. You know my husband. His son and I can't be away." this harvest.

I rolled my eyes. "Well, I wish you had just brought Brother Ronie with you."

"He can't leave the business."

"Tsh! It's because he and Lukas just called you, right? Hey. I'm not going to stay in Palawan anymore."

Sister Annie was surprised. "Oh? I thought you were going on vacation in Coron?"

"Rosie's ego. I was included in the model line up at France Fashion Week and what's more annoying, I'm an opening. I can't reject that. At least I don't want to spoil my image," I answered.

"Yeah. At least they know that even though you have a bad attitude, you are a professional when it comes to work," Ate Annie added.

I frowned in no time. Is that all, think of me as a witch? Thank you! I'm like the kindest person in the whole world duh.

I was about to eat but a man suddenly appeared beside me. and he said, "Hey... may I have this dance?" he asked.

"Your mother, Lukas. I'm going to have a panic attack with you! You just show up all of a sudden!" I'm looking for my niece.

"For a lovely lady like you., what comes out of your mouth Auntie is bad," lukas said laughing. "It doesn't suit you." I hate this.

He held out his hand. I looked around. The guests seem to be dancing on the dance floor.

I held Lukas's hand and danced with him in the middle of the dance floor.

"You're so tall, nephew," I said as we danced.

He grew in height. Lukas was eighteen the last time I saw him. He's probably twenty years old now.

"Six footer, Aunt Balin. I'm only a few inches taller than you," he grinned.

"I'm five-nine so yeah. How are you? Clarkie? It seems like your youngest is more elusive now than before," I asked.

"He's a teenager. So he's more artistic now."

"You have a girlfriend?"

" Nothing."

I laughed. He still hasn't changed. Still allergic to girls.

"What about you Auntie? Do you have a boyfriend?" Lukas asked as we continued to dance.

"No more. I dismissed it. He's stupid and a two-timer yuck. He cheated on me," I replied. Remembering my ex's face makes me want to punch him until he dies because no one can do that and I can't die.

Lukas's eyes grew cold as ice. "He cheated on you? You want me to end his life? That's easy. I can do it now."said annoyed

. My eyes widened when Lukas grabbed his cell phone. I know my nephew. And he doesn't keep his underground businesses a secret from me either. I immediately hit Lukas on the arm

"Stop it, Lukas. Don't waste your time with a useless person like that man.."

"But he cheated on you." this further reasoning

"So. I'm not serious about him either," I grinned.

Luke laughed. The dark aura on his face disappeared so I breathed a sigh of relief. "You're really different, Aunt." it's still here.

"What can I do? I'm too beautiful to be hurt." I added arrogantly to what was said.

"Karma is on your way, Aunt."

I just laughed at what my nephew said.

After a couple of dances, Ci-N danced with me next.

After Ci, I danced with Lukas again. They don't want to let me go. They just kept passing me on to the next dance partner. After all, everyone who dances on the dance floor switches partners.

I even danced with Uncle Pony, Uncle Em, a guy named Sagara, Ray and Bennet.

"Can I sit after this dance?" I complained to Bennet because my foot was hurting.

"Nope, Lolo Arthur will dance with you. Look!" Bennet grinned.

I looked to my right. And I winced when I saw Lolo Arthur dancing with Cole near our place. Once I switch to dance, Lolo Arthur will be the one I can dance with and... I don't want that. He will announce to people again that I have a second name and Worse, he might also tell about the weird things that happened in my youth. My god!

"I'm going to sit down," I whispered to Bennet emphatically.

The man shook his head before grinning and saying the magic word 'switch'.

He turned me hard to move me to the next partner, to the right. But instead of to the right. I went to the left to escape Grandpa Arthur. I'm still in a hurry.

I immediately took the hand of the man dancing on my left and almost pushed his partner. "Switch," I just said while holding the tall man's shoulder, When I looked at the face of my new partner, I was immediately shocked.

It's...Thurstin Lauren Piers in front of me!
